Chapter 10
“Poison!” Perry spat. “This crap’s gonna keep him sick for life! He’ll be a damn weakling forever! And this formula? It’s so messed up, even if Wynne were still breathing, she wouldn’t have a clue what’s making it happen!”
Adele was taken aback. “Since when did you get so good at medicine!”
“You don’t know the half of it.” Perry sneered proudly.
The truth was, he had no medical skills whatsoever. This formula had been given to him by a mysterious person years ago
“What are you two whispering about Talia opened the door and found them huddled in the corner.
“Nothing, just charting Perry quickly tried to brush is off offering a forced laugh. “By the way, Talia, do you remember the Nine–Turn Acupuncture method your mother taught you?”
“Nine–Turn Acupuncture Tala blinked, realizing Perry was trying to fish for information.

Over the years, he’d repeatedly asked her about secret formulas, and each time, she’d found a way in sidestep him.
In her past life, she had been so disinterested in carrying on Wynne’s legacy, Iriting Perry run wild. Now, looking back, it seemed foolish beyond words.
She had put the future of the Wells family’s medicine hall in the hands of Perry and Edric, only to see it all crumble, resulting in her own death and the loss of her parents‘ hard work
This time, she wouldn’t make the same mistake. Her parents legacy and Terry’s medicine hill–she was going to take them bark.
Talia shrugged, feigning helplessness. “You took all the medical books my mother left behind. How would I know anything about the Nine–Turn Acupuncture?”
Perry didn’t buy it. “No way, didn’t your mother teach you medicine from when you were line!
Talia casually hed. “Well, it’s been so long. I was busy with college and getting married. I kind of forgot inst
“Why don’t I go to the study and look through the books for you! Maybe the acupuncture method is written in ancient English, and you just missed
“These books belong to the Wells family now. You’re married, so it’s no longer your place to look through them,” Perry hesitated
“Don’t worry” Taba reassured him. “Til stay right here while I search through them. I won’t take any of the books.
“Alright then” Perry finally relaxed and led her to the study.
Inside the study. Talia flipped through the ancient books Wynne had left behind, especially the ones she’d neglected in read when she was younger. She kept going until the afternoon
“There’s nothing about the Nine–Turn Acupuncture here. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?” Talia yawned, casually tossing the book into Perry’s
arms

“Alright.” Talia said with a fake sigh. “Next time I have a chance, I’ll help you search again. But for now, I’ll head out?
Without waiting for Perry to respond, she quickly left the study.
Perry and Adele exchanged a glance. “That little bitch isn’t plotting something, is she?”
“Don’t worry. Her brother’s still in our hands”
What Perry didn’t know was that Talia had a photographic memory. Once she’d read a book, she could remember everything in it—but after a day. it all faded from her ound.
As soon as she left the study, she hurriedly hailed a taxi. “To the Mountain Villa

Last night. Alina had helped her rent a lakeside townhouse,
Alma had told her that the air here was fresh, perfect for recovering and most importantly, it wasn’t tied to the Russell family’s assets–plus, the security was top–notch.
Once they arrived at the villa, Talia wasted no time unpacking. Instead, she pulled out some paper and a pen, quickly starting to transcribe the ancient texts she had seen back at the Welk family house
By the time she had copied everything down, she stretched larily and looked up, only to find the sky outside the balcony ablaze with the colors of

The evening glow shimmered on the water’s surface, and in the distance, a flock of egres few gracefully against the fiery sky. It was so serene.

There was a piano standing by the balcony, and suddenly, memories of her childhood rushed back. She recalled how Wynne would play the piano for her. Without thinking, she sat down at the keys, lening her fingers fall lightly across them
